Project 1- Class Wiki

I created a class wiki that I plan to update throughout the year. I embedded my google calendar and I can post projects and links for my students as well as post their homework. I am sure this will be valuable to them since they can not claim that they didn't know if there was homework or not. I plan to show this wiki on parent night. A voki avatar is embedded under the Spanish III project page.

Thanks KK, I enjoyed the class and learned a lot. My co-workers are going to be so jealous of my skills now.
